To think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have had the worst relationship ever

It's quite spectacular the downfall from leading couple in the world to the children changing their names when they turn 18. Divorces happen but the scale of the disintegration is wild. If only Ange was on MN to get advice on red flags. 🚩

Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner

If true, he sounds like an abusive drunk

Shock well done Angelina for getting out!

FeelingUnsure99 · 04/08/2024 20:12

Really? In all the marriages you know that have ended in divorce, a Hollywood couple are the WORST?

I cannot believe that their divorce still ongoing. They split up so long ago.

Quite. I don't read the tabloids but wasn't this like 5+ years ago, even more?

That really didn't end well

Heatethelastwaffle · 04/08/2024 22:02

Do the kids not have contact with him?

EachandEveryone · 04/08/2024 22:04

Apparently not.

Brad Pitt is/was an abusive husband and now that Angelina has left him he is continuing to try and exert control by elongating the court process.

It’s straight from the abuser handbook and it’s disappointing to see posters on this thread attempting to lay the blame for his behaviour at Jolie’s door.

Out of idle curiosity what are the star signs of all these people?

Someone needs to start a thread on celebrity relationships that have been successful! This is depressing! Are there no role models for good relationships?!

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn?
Oh no, have I just jinxed them? 😂

Reading that, he sounds absolutely awful. If Angelina posted on MN, that would be a straight LTB from me.

They made a movie about it if anyone wants to see. It's called Girl, Interrupted.

That wasn’t about Angelina. Although she was in it. It was based on a memoir by an author called Kaysen.

Marie Trintignant and Bertrand Cantat...

Wow I’d never heard of them. What an awful story!

I wonder if Brad wishes he’d stayed with Jennifer…it seemed a very simple, easy relationship. Angelina seems a very complex character, although does seem to be a v good mum..but who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is Brad Pitt a drug addict? Which drugs and why do the children not want his name anymore, do they still see him?

I wonder why people think if Brad stayed with Jen he'd be different. He chose to be a violent alcoholic.

I think because Jen was on Friends ( which I still love) we feel like we know her. She'll always be girl nextdoor Rachel Greene.

But Jen has also had a lot of relationships not work out and a second divorce. I imagine she's as complicated as the rest of us.

Jay Mohr has talked about how mean she was to him on set of Picture Perfect that he actually would go home and cry.

Angelina isn't very Hollywood anymore which I think is nice for her and her kids.

My point is they each play a role. Brad is the all American guy who married the all American girl.

Then the sexy seductress came and stole him away with her evil spells.

I don't think any of them are really who we think they are.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wasn't great

Sweetteaplease · 05/08/2024 03:01

Maybe it's something about great passion. Apart from Charles and Diana, many of these couples seemed to have very passionate relationships

Firefly1987 · 05/08/2024 03:23

Wasn't Brad Pitt desperate for kids and then he was interviewed about what one of his kids was doing with school or something and he literally had no clue because he hardly sees them now...

Honestly, as time goes on I think that most people who seek out fame and showbiz must be damaged, unwell or plain bonkers.

I completely agree!

It was odd to me how everything seemed to be going swimmingly for years and then fell apart when Brad and Angelina actually got married.

I think she married him with the expectation or intent of it falling apart. They had both vowed not to marry until bay couples could, and then very suddenly got married with AJ explaining it was because the D.C. asked them to.

Then soon after that it all imploded.

Ger1atricMillennial · 05/08/2024 04:37

I think that there is a certain amount of irresponsibiltiy on both parties. I guess if your job depends on having a..... brand then that is the priority when making decisions.

I 100% believe that BP is an abusive alcoholic, I also believe that AJ is a very manipulative and abusive also. These two on their own would have been a nightmare, but add kids into that...everyone is going to be shit.

I agree. No way is he solely to blame.

Wow I’d never heard of them. What an awful story!

Even more awful as his former wife died of suicide while he was in the house, a few years alter after he killed Marie. 6 childrens lots their mothers.
And he was allowed to continue with his life and career as normal

Yabu to give 2 total stranger's affairs a second thought, let alone post about them.
